GREENLAND, N.H. (AP) — It's been nearly a year since the New Hampshire town of Greenland lost its police chief during a drug raid, and residents are preparing to honor him.<

Michael Maloney was killed by gunfire on April 12, 2012. Four other officers were wounded before the shooter killed a female companion and then himself.

The Portsmouth Herald reports (http://bit.ly/129shHP) the town has decided to hold a moment of silence in front of the police department at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 12. About 1,000 "thin blue line" ribbons have been made for people to wear.

After that, students plan to put on a talent show at the Greenland Central School.

Funds raised will help officers travel to Washington, D.C., in May for a ceremony at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
